{Claire & Phil Shuttleworth} Kirkby In Furness {29 June 2013}

I got to know Phil & Claire a few years ago through some mutual friends so I was delighted when they asked me to photograph their wedding this June.

Phil & Claire got married at Kirkby Church then went onto the Community field for a vintage themed marquee wedding.

Claire got ready at her house in Kirkby on the morning of the wedding. With her Mum & Dad living next door it was perfect for everyone getting ready and enjoying a relaxing morning together.

I loved this little detail on the bottom of Claire’s shoes!

As the morning went on it was soon time to get into her dress. Claire had a very unique dress with a subtle pink tone.

This is one of my favourite photographs from the morning. Claire & Phil’s daughter waiting at the bottom of the stairs for her Mummy to walk down in her wedding dress! So cute!

Waiting patiently at the church was Phil and his Groomsmen! The front of the church was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers.

As lot’s of guests started to arrive it was soon time for Claire to become Mrs Shuttleworth…

Claire’s proud Dad walked her down the isle to meet Phil.

The service was lovely with lots of smiles and a few tears!

As they stood at the top of the isle they were officially Mr & Mrs Shuttleworth!

I love Claire’s bouquet made up of beautiful peonies.

Quick kiss as Husband and Wife!

It was lovely watching everyone congratulate the happy couple – so many happy smiley faces.

Between the church and the reception I took Phil & Claire up onto Kirkby Moor for some couple portraits. It was a bit hazy but the view was still spectacular.

At the reception the marquee was full of lots of little vintage details.

We captured some important family photos before sitting down to a Hog roast dinner and speeches!

I love these ones of Claire & Phil and their family!

Who doesn’t love sitting in a quite corner with some cake!!!

With smiles all round and lots of fun activities it was great capturing some natural photos of guests.

As Phil & Claire’s night do began the rain had started but it didn’t matter as all the photographs were taken and it was time to enjoy the music and party!

I really enjoyed capturing Phil & Claire’s Wedding day. It was lovely to be apart of their special day and I hope they will be able to look back on their photographs for years to come and remind them of their happy day!
